the reverse crew (i bought) is my go-to board for everything except icy, when i bust out the crew. however, with the bluebird joining the ranks, i'll have something for deep days. excited to compare it!

The Bluebird is such a good looking board that I'm trying to decide between hanging it up and using my RC or riding the Bluebird as well. The RC does pretty well in powder, but it's terrible on hardpack or icy conditions.

That's terrible.. that's the only conditions I get around here! and I'll be getting an RC soon

ahhh so sad. Was so happy to be getting the board too.

Like lightning said, it's a standard reverse camber board so don't expect much on ice/hardpack. I lived in NC and that's all we had so I had to deal with it. But now that I'm in CO things are a lot nicer. I used the old school Crew back in NC and it worked well. Some of the newer reverse camber boards with hybrid camber and edges similar to magnatraction do well in all conditions. There's one trail here at Keystone that's always icy due to old mine shafts below the trail so it always freezes and refreezes. I got a concussion when my board washed out from underneath me a few months ago.

Ouch!, I'm mostly going to be riding on some hardpack out here in Barrie, ON Some days I might get lucky and get that powder'ish days haha unlikely conditions are usually granular, fine granular. sometimes the trails are groomed but they aren't soft, its frozen haha

Riding out in CO must be sick. Would be nice to ride there one day wil I still can.

CO is cheap if you avoid the money grubbing large resorts. Pick up a Gems card for $10 and get lots of deals for the "smaller" resorts. I had my first powder day at a smaller resort with free tickets from that $10 Gems card. Don't underestimate them.

^^^ It takes a long time, I believe it's weeks to a month. Seemed like forever when I was waiting but don't worry, you've got a while until it snows. Go get some tall tees at thuggies.com their new website is up as of today
